G’day folks! Two bye rounds down and just one to go… great to see a bit of light at the end of the old tunnel.

Many will be bracing for a harsh round 13. Stay calm and please folks… try to hold onto those trades. You will be bloody rapt you did going into the back end of the season if you’re in for a shot at some finals action this year.

Enjoy this weeks show – as always there are some real specials for us all leading into a crucial round 13 of Supercoach and Dreamteam.

G'day jock, how are ya? I've got 10 trades and 450k in the bank, however looking at up to three trades this week, to get muddy waters, maybe boomer Harvey, and maybe pendles if he comes back. Either him or Nicky dal. Either way, I can hold off until after next week. Got the league leader this week (I am eight points behind, equal second with four other teams…) so want to make sure I have some firepower!

Any news on pendlebury and heath Shaw? Have you given them the old scotch fillet and parsley caper?

Gday there Dylan. Mate.. The Scotch Fillet and Parsley is a hamstring specific remedy. It's a sheep's guts and rosemary arrangement for younf Scott. Coming along well. 50/50 this weekend old son. I'd strongly encourage you hold those trades till next week if ya can mate… you're sitting 2nd so you're in the box seat mate!! Hold your trades old son

Very tricky one to answer as Higgo discussed in th pod this week mate… it is a very complicated tapestry of situations this season. Depends on many factors.. where are you on the ladder son? If your 12th or lower.. not much choice but to burn a few trades

Mate you're in 7th. That's tops. Forget top 4. focus on that 7th or 8th position. Only 9 trades left is not a great deal and you have to put your team into a mild hibernation over the next 5-6 weeks. If you desperately need a win to stay in the 8 make a trade.. but otherwise you just need to hold your trades at this stage of the game old son

depends who you already have .. def good value but id still spend the extra money to get pendlebury/swan/ablet/watson/other selwood before id bring in scot .. saying that if your short of cash you could do alot worse,

id still expect a few low scores to go with those super high scores before the year is out

Thanks Vinnie & MJ. I am trying to make the best use of the money I have. There was a lot of talk about Priddis but not much about S. Selwood. I'm thinking Priddis is considered to be a cut above. I'm also looking at S.Thompson from the Crows so he might be a better option.

In a bit of a pickle mate. Looking to trade in carrazzo for hawkins by flicking johnson into the forwardline..thoughts? Also thoughts on trading out giles for goldstein..Will need to trade out a cashie and leave me with 3 trades for the year, but will leave me with only 1 rookie (zorko) thoughts?

Took a huge risk this week. Heath Scotland scored well but looked proppy on the weekend. (Maybe it was just the long sleeve jumper and socks up combination?) Regardless, I've burnt him for the in form Rhyce Shaw who still has a low B/E. Freed up the cash for me to get Swan for Horsely who is in scintillating form and, if last year is anything to go by, finishes seaosons with a wet sail. Only 7 trades left but my team is well and truly set when Rhyce hits his ceiling and I upgrade him. Anyone considering him?

Lot of talk of holding trades for run home……I'm taking the the advice of The Ancient Art of Supercoach 2012 TRADING …..holding 2 or 3 for any injuries but looking at getting team finalised by round 14…

Shiel's B/E is pretty low so he could make you some cash and you could grab a fallen premium like maybe Pendles (deoending how much he falls) or even ball magnet Carrazo who will be a bargain soon enough.

Just wondering if you still recommend avoiding trades this round even if you have guys like treloar and magnet with high break evens? Got 11 trades but not much lunch money and sitting top 4 in 3 leagues and 6th in another league.

Have some great guns but have ended up with a few really skinny cows which are preventing me from taking off
